Struggles in loss to Rangers Kochanowicz (1-2) took the loss after allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk in 4.2 innings Thursday against the Rangers. He struck out one.
Impact The Rangers peppered the right-hander with runs, scoring one in the first inning, two in the second frame and one more in the third. Kochanowicz hurled just one clean inning, although just two of his six hits allowed went for extra bases. Kochanowicz is slated for a softer matchup at home against the Pirates next week, but he has an uninspiring 6.20 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB across four starts (20.1 innings) to begin the season.

Struggles against Astros Kochanowicz (1-1) allowed six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one over 4.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Astros.
Impact Kochanowicz entered the fifth inning with the Angels up 2-1. He quickly ran into trouble, and he couldn't complete the frame, instead leaving the bases loaded for reliever Garrett McDaniels to allow a grand slam to Yainer Diaz. This was the worst of Kochanowicz's three starts so far, inflating his ERA to 5.74 with a 1.28 WHIP and 9:6 K:BB over 15.2 innings. He struck out just 25 batters over 65.1 innings across 11 starts in 2024, instead functioning as a groundball pitcher. That makes him prone to struggles versus teams that can make steady, hard contact. Kochanowicz's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Rangers.

Goes five frames for victory Kochanowicz (1-0) earned the win over Cleveland on Saturday, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
Impact Kochanowicz wasn't as sharp as in his first start of the campaign, when he didn't issue a walk and notched a quality start, but this time around he got plenty of run support, as the Angels scored seven runs in the bottom of the fifth inning after he finished his final frame. The right-hander earned the Angels' final rotation spot with a solid spring, and he's done enough so far to hang onto the role, posting a 3.27 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB over 11 frames through two starts. Kochanowicz has struggled a bit with the long ball, though -- he's already yielded three homers after giving up just seven in 65.1 innings as a rookie last year.

Opens season with quality start Kochanowicz did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 3-2 win over the White Sox, pitching six innings while allowing two runs on four hits and no walks. He struck out four.
Impact The 24-year-old required only 64 pitches, 47 of which were strikes, to secure his ninth career quality start, incredibly achieved in just 12 games started. Kochanowicz allowed both runs in a shaky first inning that saw him yield a leadoff homer to Nick Maton and run-scoring single to Matt Thaiss. However, after Thaiss' hit, Kochanowicz retired 14 of the next 16 batters faced while inducing four punchouts. The Angels right-hander is currently slated to make his next start against the Guardians at home next weekend.

Nabs final spot in rotation Angels manager Ron Washington said Monday that Kochanowicz will open the season as the team's fifth starter, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact He beat out Reid Detmers, who will begin the season in the bullpen. Kochanowicz earned the spot after holding a 2.92 ERA and 7:4 K:BB over 12.1 innings covering four Cactus League starts. The 6-foot-7 righty had just a 9.4 percent strikeout rate in 11 starts with the Angels last season, but the club will bet on the sinkerballer producing enough grounders to make up for his lack of bat-missing ability.

Impressive in bid for starting role Kochanowicz tossed four perfect innings with two strikeouts in a Cactus League start against Cincinnati on Sunday.
Impact Kochanowicz was ultra efficient in the outing, needing just 44 pitches to get through four frames. In fact, the righty was so efficient that he threw more pitches in the bullpen following his departure from the game. Kochanowicz is competing with Reid Detmers for the Angels' fifth-starter role this spring. While Detmers has been fine with a 3.52 ERA and 4:2 K:BB over 7.2 innings, Kochanowicz has been better, giving up just one earned run and posting a 6:1 K:BB across nine frames.
